• $250 Trillion in Debt: the World’s Post-Lehman Legacy (Bloomberg)
• The iPhone Franchise (Stratechery) see also Who Invented the iPhone? (Scientific American)
• The 3-2-1 Rule: Have at least three copies of everything, on at least two different types of media, at least one of which should be somewhere else. (Wall Street Journal)
